Create Block Theme

This plugin allows you to:

• Create a new theme, blank theme, child theme or style variation.

The plugin is development only — not intended for use on production websites, but used as a tool to create new themes.

Step 1 – Setup

Install and activate the Create Block Theme plugin.

In the WordPress Admin Dashboard, under Appearance there will be a new page called:

• Create Block Theme

Step 2 – Style Customizations

Make changes to your site styles and templates using the Site Editor.

Step 3 – Export

Still in the WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Appearance” -> “Create Block Theme” section. Select one of the available options and then, if necessary, add the details for the theme here. These details will be used in the style.css file. Click “Generate” button, to save the theme.
